self-label | Cubs Out Loud – The Bear Podcast of Indeterminate Length

Hello, Ladies, Gentlemen and NBs. SOMEBODY’S GETTING MARRIED! Which means we’re taking this week off while Damon walks the aisle, Gary tries to catch the garter and bouquet, while bears ravage the reception buffet. But have no fear! Today we’re time traveling to nearly TEN YEARS AGO in August of 2013 for specia-mercial episode including previous hosts Eric and Robert! From three days away to the old-school NBCS, let’s flashback to COL Episode 223.
